All of it, online.

We do the paperwork in Cyprus. You stay where you are.

    Costs from up to six months before registration are deductible, so forward the receipts while you wait.

What's different from abroad.

Most of the process is the same wherever you live. These are the parts worth knowing before you start.

Sumly vs a law firm, from abroad.

A law firm hands you a certificate and moves on. We open your books the day you order, and stay for every deadline after.

Yes. EU and non-EU citizens can own and register a Cyprus limited company without living here. We register it for a fixed fee, fully online, and if it isn't approved you get every euro back.

Yes. A standard private company needs no office visit and no notary appointment in Cyprus. Banking is the exception, because some banks want to meet a director. We tell you which before you order.

Yes, and the formation is the same. Living here is a separate question. The Yellow Slip is for EU, EEA and Swiss citizens only, so you need the Pink Slip, the residence permit for non-EU citizens. We prepare it and file it with you.

Yes. Contractors and consultants with EU clients often want an EU company with VAT and VIES set up properly. Sumly invoices in any currency and runs in the browser, so your time zone doesn't matter.

Every company needs a registered office in Cyprus, and we can provide one. A Cyprus-resident director isn't a registration rule, so you can be the director yourself. Where the directors take the key decisions can matter for tax, and we go through that on the call.

The formation is a fixed €950. Government fees are charged at cost, on top of our fee, once your application is approved. Every company also needs a registered office in Cyprus and a company secretary. We can provide the office for €300 a year and the secretary for €200 a year. The Sumly platform is €39 a month after a 30-day free trial. All prices exclude VAT.

Speak to a tax adviser before you rely on a short answer. Since 2026, a company registered in Cyprus is tax resident here by default, but the country you run it from may claim it too. Your own residency is a separate question. Whatever the answer, Sumly prepares your VAT, VIES and provisional tax from the books.

Banks decide that themselves, and we won't promise an outcome. Once the account exists, Sumly connects to it with a read-only feed, so it can see transactions but never move money.

Yes. Sumly runs in the browser. It reads your documents, books them, reconciles the bank and prepares your returns. On Base you review and file them, on Plus Sumly files every return except the year-end accounts, and on Premium your Sumly certified bookkeeper does it all.

Talk it through, from anywhere.

Tell us where you live, who owns what and what the company will do. We'll tell you what it needs and what it costs.
